Since Queen Elizabeth is almost always with her handbag on her arm, it’s a pretty reliable tool to use to send signals to her staff. In fact, the Queen and her ladies in waiting have a number of signals that she can use to let them know that she’s ready to move on from a conversation.
If you are in the Queen’s presence and you see her move her bag from her left arm to her right arm, then it’s a pretty safe bet that your meeting is about to come to an end. When the Queen shifts her handbag from one arm to another, it’s a signal to her staff that she’s ready to finish up a conversation.
